Nontoxic Cleaners Made from Most Household Items

New & Improved Green Cleaners: Ones that don't contain lye, petroleum based detergents and potentially toxic chemicals Household Products list of cleaners that can be made from ingredients already in your home. Baking soda, lemon juice, vegetable oil, borax, soaps made from animal or vegetable fat and plain old hot water can do the work of dozens of "extra-strength" "antibacterial," over-the-counter products.

Try these time-tested recipes for average household chores.

All Purpose Cleaner: Mix two teaspoons of borax to one teaspoon soap in a quart of water. Store in a rinsed, recycled spray bottle.

Air Fresheners: Many products simply mask odors by deadening your sense of smell. Eliminate the smell's source. Then set out a dish of baking soda or vinegar. For a potpourri-like fragrance, boil hers and spices.

Carpet Deodorizers: Sprinkle baking soda or corn starch (one cup per room), or one part borax/two parts cornmeal mix. Vacuum after an hour.

Disinfectants: One half cup borax in one gallon hot water disinfects common bacteria.

Dishwashing: Liquid or powdered soap with a few teaspoons of vinegar handles most soil. For dishwashers, use a borax and washing soda (hydrated sodium carbonate) mix.

Drain Cleaners: Prevention is the best medicine. Once a week, plug the overflow and pour a quarter cup of baking soda down the drain. Follow with one-half cup of vinegar and cover tightly for a minute. Flush
with boiling water.

Floor Cleaners: One half cup vinegar with a half gallon of warm water cuts greasy film on no-wax linoleum.
